Hello Brighton!

This city never stands still. Just look at the amazing Hove Beach Park, where the brand-new state-of-the-art Outdoor Sports Hub has just launched a stunning rooftop café, Babble.

Meanwhile, just opposite the Odeon, creative, seasonal restaurant The Winkle now graces historic Arch 139. The Reading Room has made Kemptown’s Black Rock a destination once again, while ever-popular Shelter Hall has begun serving brunch. All change!

Promenade: Explore The Seafront

Elsewhere, Brighton’s first seafood boil – The Gothic Crab – can now be found in Madeira Place. Blossoms introduces Crimson Koi, an exclusive space for private hire. And from next week, Caccia & Tails will have a new home at Picturehouse Komedia. Oh yes – that big spring energy is flowing fast right now!

All The New Restaurant Openings

This Saturday, Duke of York’s Picturehouse will be showing Eurovision. If that’s your bag, it’s the perfect excuse to explore the Preston Circus neighbourhood. (Oh and did you hear about the new Preston Park Market?)

Looking for a different vibe? Gig-hop your way around the city this weekend with The Great Escape. Don’t fade out early – plan your pit stops here. Then again, you could escape to the country instead and book a room at BRAVO Best Sussex Pub, The Jolly Sportsman.

Nab a last-minute ticket to tonight’s outstanding Barstool Session at Fourth and Church, featuring wines from Portuguese maker Luís Pato.
Try a Conversation Starter at Bar Valentino – a boozy milk punch with luxurious matcha foam. [Watch Millie make it here.]
Grab a Pizzaface pie from Starfish & Coffee and head to Queens Park for a lazy, leafy picnic.
Book a ticket for the next Wanderlust Supper Club at The Set’s celebration of Fire, Salt and Water – a bespoke menu inspired by the islands on 22nd May. [Find out more here.]
